The misconception is about standing wave current VS traveling wave current.
The "experts" have asserted that "current is current" and that standing wave

different equations.


Cecil,

So how is your study of the NEC documents going?

I learn something new every time I plow through the mathematical
discussion. I find current discussed on almost every page, but I am
still searching for the part that discusses standing waves and traveling
waves. If you could help me find that section it would be appreciated.

Gene,

Don't hold your breath while waiting for Cecil to agree the NEC engine
he uses to prove you can only calculate current by using reflected
waves does not use reflected waves!

I'm still trying to find out why my meter measures standing wave
current and not "real current", or whatever the heck he is saying.

I just made a QSO with Australia and got a 599 and I only used
standing wave current! Imagine how loud I would have been if I used
real current.
